  I have been using Sculpt 4D for about a year now (currently running it
  on an Amiga 3000) and have been fairly pleased with it's output.  I had
  originally started with Sculpt 4D Jr. and found that it lacked the 
  flexibility I needed (my dealer gave me a very nice upgrade path through
  Byte by Byte).  I would recommend Sculpt 4D over Jr because of the
  ability to generate overscan/sever overscan picture (especially for
  television/video work) but I would also recommend that you take a look
  a "3D Professional" (I can't recall who make 3D Pro).  I had a chance
  to look over a 2 hour training tape that comes with 3D Professional and
  recently looked over some pictures that were produced with it (even a
  picture done with the upcoming ray traceing module!) and was very
  impressed!  I will probably be purchasing 3D Professional within the
  next month myself.  3D Professional is in the same price range as
  Sculpt 4D but it has a few more capabilities and the ability to be
  expanded (adding different rendering techniques, textures, etc.).
 
  Hope this information helps!
